The jumping isn't right here, it's far too tough to time it correctly, he more than usually lands too short for me. The game itself can also be too short and you can lose your lives within seconds. Something tells me this was a rush job, but what do I know?

This is a mix between Wheelie and Jungle Fever, in which you're riding the most bouncy BMX ever at ludicrous speed, and, moreover, in a jungle. You must jump everything. Raw graphics. I could give it 1/5 but it's 2/5 because it's so demented.

Where to start with this game?

OK so BMX Jungle Bike is a moderately deranged idea, and I'm convinced that it's a dartboard selection game. By which I mean whoever wrote it has a board on the wall with pieces of paper that contain random words stuck to it. The author then then throws 3 darts at the wall, and creates a title from whichever 3 words he hits. The 3 words being BMX, Jungle, and Bike. I doubt the game would have been any better if the 3 words had've been Cosmic Monkey Tennis, although in this day and age I'm surprised there isn't a game called Cosmic Monkey Tennis, and if there was I'd probably be one of the people lining up to play the bugger.

Anyway this game is a really crap hybrid of Wheelie, and I'd say Hunchback, but it's more crap, so let's say Punchy instead. With flick screen instead of scrolling, the jumping mechanics of Eddie Kidd's Jump Challenge, and rather below average graphics.

It's not a fun game at all, the collision detection is all over the place, and I'd have gave it a big fat 1! But! Due to it's attempt to be original by combining ludicrous concepts, and the fact that it did in fact make me laugh, I can give it a 2

....and I'm being very generous there!

Was this a really bad attempt at a BMX Biking game or was it on purpose in order to be as weird a game as possible? Maybe the word 'Jungle' in the name is a clue.
It has ideas from other games already mentioned by another reviewer, games such as Hunchback, Eddie's Kid's or Wheelie, but instead being an ultra cool game like Wheelie was, it turned out to be a rather boring, hard to play, even idiotic game, with lots of programming flaws, such as the collision detection.
Well I think it's justifiable if it was programmed by a kid.
